BarefootDawsy Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 This PvP is a go, as of Monday, April 14th. It can be joined and followed here; http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/46874-the-pushup-quidditch-cup-live-game-thread/ OK, so this idea came to me as a result if the last PvP I did.Basically, there are 2 or more teams, each made up of a Beater, 2 Chasers, a Keeper and a Seeker.The Chasers score points by doing pushups.The Keeper negates points by doing pushups.The Beater's pushups decrease those of one of the Chasers (the beater specifies who to target in advance. The target chaser's points can't be made negative, so excess difference is lost. Eg if the target chaser scored 100 and the beater did 150, only 100 points would be negated.The Seeker tries to complete a really tough weekly challenge (which gets easier each week)if the Seeker completes the challenge, their team gets a specified number of points. For example 600 pushups week 1, 500 week 2, 400 week 3, etc. In a 6 week challenge, the points would be up for grabs each week, otherwise, the game would be over.Points could be tallied weekly manually or we could use a Google form.Who'd be up for trying this as a PvP for the next challenge? We'd need at least 10 players, and can add extra beaters/chasers/teams as needed.

ApfelStrudi Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Are lower-level push ups allowed? I can't do a proper push up, so I put a swiss ball under my legs and do them that way (I guess that's some kind of equivalent of a knee push up) 2 Quote Just trying to get back on my feet. apfelstrudi learns to outrun shamblers | Instagram challenge Link to comment

I can't do a proper push up, so I put a swiss ball under my legs and do them that way (I guess that's some kind of equivalent of a knee push up) I can only do about 10 full at a time. It took me all day to get through the burpees for the Olympics challenge because of it. Would it be too unbalanced to allow different positions to have different exercises? 1 Quote Level 63 Human ...

Elastigirl Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm in. On differant levels: Barefoot started this PVP in another thread in general fitness. I think the plan was to assign varying pt levels to push up difficulty. Knee push ups were .5, I figured incline or swiss ball push ups would fit in that category. 2 Quote Wisdom 22.5 Dexterity 13 Charisma 15 Strength 21 Constitution-13 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind' Luke 10; 27 Link to comment
BarefootDawsy Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 We could use the @Endor pushup scale to make it all-inclusive and fair - leaning against wall = 0.25 points- on knees = 0.5 points- standard pushup = 1 points- feet elevated pushups = 1.5 points- clapping pushup = 2 points- one arm pushups = 3 points@ChristArtist and @LycanThom used it in our last PvP with much success! Sorry, forgot to add this bit to the new thread too 2 Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment

BarefootDawsy Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I think 1.5 for those would be about right Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
Endor Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Sounds great, good idea mate. Not for me though unfortunately, I seem to have developed tendinitis in my forearm, I think a combination of too much mousing, squash, pushups and pullups. The joys of getting old . I've also got no restraint when it comes to competitive stuff so I generally don't get involved in open ended games or I end up obsessively pursuing a win to the detriment of all else!! 1 Quote Endor, LVL 45 Half-Elf Ranger PR and Motivation Log | Current Battle Log Feb-March 2022 Challenge Link to comment
Chris-Tien Jinn Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ok, with the exchange rate established, I could do this - and it sounds fun. Pushups are not my fav exercise. Like vegetables, I'll bribe myself with friendly competition to get them done!! 1 Quote Level 63 Human ...

Hoping it's just a strain..haven't seen the doctor yet...going to take it easy for a little bit. We're off to Armidale for a week, so no Kendo for a fortnight = lots of rest. Did my first day of beginner Armstrong today...was good (and hard). Definitely glad that there's a pre-armstrong course! Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander (ret.) Link to comment
